Bass Picks

My fingernails. You pu-schwahs

Also, I like metal picks, a lot. But they tend to brake Your strings sooner than regular picks, naturally.

Interested in trying a pick made of Ultex. If anyone's tried 'em on either bass or guitar, please, pipe up.

My choices:

More pickish sound: http://www.wedgie.com/picks_nylon.html

Less pickish sound: http://www.wedgie.com/picks_rubber.html

Thanks, MEC.

How could'I've missed that?

(I think I scrolled right past it.)

I play with a pick 95% of the time. I use Big Stubby 3.0's because I play really fucking hard and don't want any flex at all, and I love the indented grip. Any picks smaller than 2.0 I snap in half in about 1 practice.

+1 I stated wailing on the acoustic guitar a while ago and always preferred something with substance. Also good on bass as well though I am a primarily pickless player

Also this. I use the same picks for guitar, and on the rare occasion that I want to use a pick with bass they work well for that clanky sound which is the reason I want to use a pick.

I am sooooo glad Im not the only one that uses nylon picks on bass I need to find some 1.5's

Im strange, i use thumbpicks on bass, i like it cause i can switch inbetween fingers and pick easily, and i never have to worry about dropping picks

i went through a whole "buy a fuckload of different picks" stage, always came back to these, been about...4 years of just these. keep about 5 in my jeans at all times

For all you doods that like the Dunlop Nylons you should REALLY try the Wedgies.
I used the Dunlops for years but after I tried the Wedgies, I'm never going back.
This goes for Bass or Guitar.

For what it's worth, I have 18 picks in my jeans right now. And that's like kinda low. How many do you guys usually have on you?

Dude, blue 1mm tortex is the way to go. Sometimes I'll even go down to the green .88s.

And I usually have 3 or so picks in my jeans...

[Chankgeez]

usually two. Right now, three (and that's really only because of this thread).

[Grrface]

Dunlop Heavy Gels, the red ones. I usually have 2 or 3 on me.

None? Unless I know I'm playing, I don't carry picks around. I reeeeaaaaally hate having loose crap I don't need in my pockets though.
